Denon AVR-4520CI A/V Receiver

Mark Fleischmann has posted a review of the Denon AVR-4520CI A/V receiver ($2499) at Sound and Vision. His conclusions:

“I’ve never known a receiver to have such a symbiotic relationship with its room correction. So often, room correction seems an afterthought, or even a compromise; here it is a vital ingredient that improves nearly all content. Without XT32, this receiver would rate a solid four stars in the performance rating, with solid dynamics and a gentle but not especially detailed top end. With XT32, it’s a five-star product with a fine tonal balance and some of the best imaging I’ve heard in my room. I ended up splitting the difference and making it 4.5 stars. The Denon AVR-4520CI and Audyssey MultEQ XT32 seem literally made for each other.”
